Georgia’s president has vetoed the so-called “Russian law” targeting media that has sparked weeks of mass protests. The law would require media and NGOs to register as “pursuing the interests of a foreign power” if they receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad.

He has maintained support from this group in early primary contests this year, even though Republican voters had several openly conservative Christian candidates to choose from. Читать дальше...
